Lets's calculate GCF of 948,921
3 | 948, 921 |
316, 307 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 948
:1,2,3,4,6,12,79,158,237,316,474,948
Now, list down the factors of 921
:1,3,307,921
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 948,921 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 948,921 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,764
2 | 52, 764 |
2 | 26, 382 |
13, 191 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 191 = 9932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 948/52,921/764 is 3/9932
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 52,764 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,764) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,764) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(52,764) = ( 52 × 764 ) / 4
LCM(52,764) = 39728 / 4
LCM(52,764) = 9932
